From Serra to Sancho: Music and Pageantry in the California Missions - Currents in Latin American & Iberian Music
Russell, Craig H. (Professor, Professor, California Polytechnic State University)
Music in the California missions was a pluralistic combination of voices and instruments, of liturgy and spectacle, of styles and functions-and even of cultures-in a new blend that was non-existent before the Franciscan friars' arrival in 1769. This book explores aesthetic, stylistic, historical, cultural, theoretical, liturgical, and biographical aspects of this repertoire. Containing a "Catalogue of Mission Manuscripts," 150+ facsimiles, translations of primarydocuments, and performance-ready music reconstructions.
